Louis XIV was the most extravagant, sumptuous, and luxurious king in French history. He moved the court to Versailles, which is still today one of the grandest palaces in the world. Like Louis XIV himself, our “Louis XIV Suite” is also the most extravagant, sumptuous and luxurious suite in the Arc de Texas. The suite occupies the entire third floor of the Arc de Texas and has 4 bedrooms, 2 half baths with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, central air/heat and great fire pit to sit and enjoy the nighttime sky in the Hill Country. You can also use the elevator to go to the rooftop terrace to enjoy your cocktail while taking in the arresting 360 degree views. What is stunning about this suite is the views! There are no less than 18 large square windows encircling the entire suite. The suite has views in every direction. You only need to pack your overnight bag, we have thought of everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. The suite sleeps 12-14 people with the use of the leather sofas in the living room. One bedroom has a king bed, another has a king bed and the other two bedrooms have two queen beds (all linens provided).
The kitchen is furnished with coffeemaker (coffee, filters, creamer, sugar, Splenda), pots, pans, stove, refrigerator, microwave, glassware, dishes, silverware, linens, serving bowls, cooking utensils, misc. spices, knife block, toaster, paper towels, napkins, basic condiments in the fridge, and spices in the cabinet for cooking, etc.
The living area has a leather embossed furnishings. You can put your feet up and read a good book, watch DirectTV with movie channels, or head into town and rent a DVD to watch on the television. There is no telephone but there is an internet connection in the house if you really must stay in touch with those everyday hassles!
There is a large fire pit with 'rocking' chairs that you can sit in and enjoy a great fire. There's plenty of wood on the ranch - burn all you want! There is six tables with chairs up on the rooftop terrace that you can use to have a meal outside. In addition, we also have a propane grill for outdoor cooking.
If you wish to bring your dog or your horse we have accommodations for them as well. The back deck is fenced and can be used to contain your dog. We ask that you keep them off the furniture and beds and you are required to bring a crate to house them in when you are away from the suite ($30 per night per pet stay fee - to be added to your quote after you book). For horses, we have a pipe fenced paddock directly behind the Red House with water & feed troughs as well as a run-in and tack area to keep your tack and feed dry (please note that you will need to rent the Red House as well to bring horses).
